Afundixi 15:1-20
15 Mukubhita thembu, mu izuwa ya kubhongolola o tiliku, Sasawu wayi mukunda muhat’wê yu wambata hombo. Kyabhixila kwenyoko, mwene wambe: “Ngamesena kukala ni muhat’wami mu xilu.” Maji o tata ya muhat’wê kamwehela kubokona.
2 O tata ya muhatu wê wa mwambela, wixi: “Ngabanzele kwila wa muzembe, mukiki-phe nga mubhana ku mukwatekexi wé wa fesa, wa muxinjikila. O ndeng’yê kabeta kota mu kuwabha mwene ndenge? Ngakudyondo, kala ni mwene.”
3 Mukyenyiki, Sasawu wa ambela, wixi: “Muveji yiyi o akwa Fidíxa kanda tena ku ngitatela mu kima kyayibha ki nganda kwabhanga.”
4 Kyenyiki, Sasawu wakwata hama jitatu ja mikenge. Mukusuluka, wakwata makongolo yu wakwata o mikenge mu iyadi-iyadi yu wa ikutu o mikila, anga utula o makongolo bhukaxi ka mikila.
5 Mukusuluka wate o tubhya ku makongolo yu weha o mikenge mu mabhya a jimbutu ja akwa Fidíxa. Mwene woha o ima yoso, kikale o ita ya jimbutu ni jimbutu ka jibhongolwele luwa, ni mividi ni midiva.
6 Akwa Fidíxa ebhwidisa: “Nanyi wabhange o kima kiki?” Ene a atambwijila exi: “Sasawu o holome ya mukwa Timinate, mukonda mwene wakwata o muhatu wa Sasawu yu wamubhana ku mukwatekexi wê wa fesa, wayile mu muxinjikila.” Mukonda dya kiki, akwa Fidíxa abande, ya até mu tubhya o muhatu ni tat’ê.
7 Sasawu wa ambela, wixi: “Se kyene ki mwabhangi-ki, eme kinganda nyoha kate ki ngi mivutwila o phonzo.”
8 Kyenyiki wa ajibha umoxi-umoxi, wajibha athu avulu. Mukusuluka, wakulumuka yu wadisweka ku ndanji ya Etamu.
9 O akwa Fidíxa abande ya akexile mu Judá, ayi kate ku Leyí.
10 O mayala akwa Judá a ebhwidisa, exi: “Mukonda dyahi mweza mubhânga n’etu?” O akwa Fidíxa atambwijila, exi: “Tweza mukuta Sasawu, phala ku mubhanga kala kya tubhange mwene.”
11 Mukyenyiki, midi jitatu ja mayala akwa Judá atuluka kate ku ndanji ya Etamu, ya ambela Sasawu: “Eye kwejiya kwila akwa Fidíxa ene a mu tutumina? Mukiki-phe, mukonda dyahi wabhange o ima yiyi?” Mwene wa atambwijila, wixi: “Eme nga avutwila o ima ya ngibhange.”
12 Ene anga amwambela, exi: “Tweza mu kukuta phala ku kubhakula bhu maku a akwa Fidíxa.” Kyenyiki, Sasawu wa atambwijila, wixi: “Ngikanenyenu kwila, kimwanda ngikwama.”
13 Ene a mwambela, exi: “Kana, kitwanda kujibha, twanda kukuta ngo ni ku kubhakula kwa ene.”
Mukiki, a mukutu ni jingoji jiyadi ja ubhe, ya a mubhangesa kutunda bhu ndanji bhwa diswekele.
14 Kyoso kyabhixila ku Leyí, akwa Fidíxa adikola ni kisangusangu kyoso mu ku mumona. O nzumbi ya Jihova ya mubhana kutena, o jingoji jamukutile naju mu maku jabatuka kala ajite mu tubhya, anga jibwa bhoxi.
15 Mwene wasange kifuba kya lunganzwanzwa lwa jumendu kilukukuta luwa, wa lukatula, yu wajibha nayu midi ya mayala.
16 Mukusuluka, Sasawu wambe:
“Ni lunganzwanza lumoxi lwa jumendu ngajibha ndumba ya jinguma!
Ni lunganzwanza lumoxi lwa jumendu ngajibha midi ya mayala.”
17 Kyoso kyazubha o kuzwela kiki, watexi o lunganzwanza. O kididi kyokyo anga ukiluka o dijina dya Lamate-Leyí.*
18 Mukusuluka, wexile ni dinyota dyavulu yu wasambe kwa Jihova mu kwamba: “Eye wabhangesa o selevende yé kutolola o jinguma joso jiji. O kwila wanda ngehela mwene kufwa ni dinyota ni kubwa bhu maku a athu akambe ku asaya?”
19 Nzambi wabhangesa kutunda menya ku dikungu dyexile ku Leyí. Kyoso Sasawu kyanu, o nguzu yavutuka mu mukutu, mwene anga uswina dingi. Mukonda dyakiki, o kididi kyokyo wakiluku o dijina dya Ene-Hakole.* Kyene kyala ku Leyí kate mu izuwa yalelu.
20 Sasawu wazokela Izalayele mu makwinyi ayadi a mivu, kyoso akwa Fidíxa kyexile mutumina o ixi.
